re: Dad who wrote scathing letter to Brearley about race focus: ‘Someone had to’

“This afternoon, I and others who work closely with Upper School students met with more than one hundred of them, many of whom told us that they felt frightened and intimidated by the letter and the fact that it was sent directly to our homes,” Jane Fried wrote.

I'm currently reading LINK ]Why Meadow Died and this comes across as the same self-serving, arse-covering tripe Runcie and the Broward County school board came up with. They did so in order to not just save themselves but to continue propelling their careers by padding (and even faking) numbers in their the bullshite Restorative Justice programs like PROMISE.

The reality of these programs created such a bureaucratic nightmare that it allowed Nikolas Cruz to continuously fall through the cracks to the point where when he finally snapped and shot the place up, every student and teacher first thought of him as the shooter the moment they heard of it. Yet after that the administration did their damnedest to hide this fact, strong-arm anyone trying to bring it up and then outright deny any mention of it.

The egos in education administration are some of the most dangerous things facing our youth.

I don't disagree with the guy, but his letter was, to me, not an effectively written letter. It rambled, it didn't have in it a call to action. He should have used his time, instead of an aggrieved parent that already pulled his kid out of the school, to have kept the kid in school, to contact all 600 other parents with a private poll to obtain evidence other parents felt the same, then with that evidence, share it along with a carefully crafted letter to the board of governors, signed by the parents who agreed with him, to remove the current administration or get the curriculum changed.

As it is, he only set himself up to be a lightening rod for criticisms by the leftists at the school, and only deepened the voices of silence by others.

There's probably a number of parents who will agree with him, but see his rant as just that: a rant. He wasn't offering to head a group of concerned parents where the sheer number would require a change. Instead, he just ranted in a rambling way. Not very effective. But I applaud him for his stance.

Codified policy (not necessarily racially explicit) that specifically disenfranchises one race over another.

Okay, now list them. Or at least list a few so we all can be aware, because right now "systemic racism" is pretty much a cultural bigfoot.

This is where it gets murky.

If it was truly a "scourge" and warrants the bullshite this country is being dragged through, it wouldn't be murky. At all.

That the example you gave was about school lunch credits and how they may be used differently in certain school districts than others pretty much proves my above point.

That said, IMO if there is systemic racism in this country it's in education, and that industry, ironically, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Dem party.

Written very eloquently.

In a TL/DR summary, he politely paraphrased that they're a bunch of mentally ill, enabling fricktards who are detrimental to society and are socially and mentally poisoning themselves,their colleagues, their students, America, and the world with their self-loathing, indignation and woke-ism.

It was just as good a read the second time.

It was refreshing to read something so well written... but I enjoyed your summary almost as much as the original text.
